"EADGBE"
Um...
Erudite Austin Dude Goes By Electricity?

 

Haha!

Couple hints:
1. It has more to do with me than the car.
2. The letters are musical pitch names.

Google is your friend, though playing an instrument years ago is something you never really forget.

 

The sad part is that I haven't played it for a while, work being busy, but retirement is only 9 years away!

"Eclectic" would be more likely than "erudite"!

LOL! Well if irony is the goal it might be fun to have GAS GZLR. Some people would get the joke, others would scratch their head in confusion, meanwhile some BEV owners would think that it's an accurate description.

 

Probably only a few folks would get these, but would like them:

DIAN CHE
WO DE CHE

Or along the "irony" lines:

FEI DIAN

Ah, or apropos rather than ironic:

Hmm...
Could it be...
(a) The Notes of the Guitar strings...
or
(b) The opening Presto movement of "Trio #1" for Contrabassoon, Slide Whistle and Vacuum Cleaner, by PDQ Bach
(Don't know if such a piece exists, but if not, the world surely needs it...)

 

A) Indeed!
B) If you substitute tromboon for contrabassoon, I wouldn't be surprised if such a composition exists.

I ordered RVR SNG

Should receive them soon...

 

"Reversing"? (Haha)


iPhone ? Pro

 

If it does stand for "Reversing", I couldn't get that place. I had Toyota get rid of my constant reverse beep to just one beep -- so mine would have to read "REV TACET"

 

Is your husband's car a Tardis?

 

Nancy S, hopefully someday, sigh...

Oddly enough, a coworker's first comment getting in my last Prius was "it's bigger on the inside!"

She had no idea why I thought that was so funny.

This one, she doesn't like the color. Again, she has no idea why that's funny...

 

Ah, beyond the amusing Dr. Who reference, that's an interesting question in itself:

Does the P.Prime strike you folks as surprisingly roomy, cramped, or pretty much what you'd expected?

For me (coming from a gen-2, FWIW), it strikes me as about what I expected or possibly slightly smaller.

It's about what I expected, and much more comfortable than my 2011. Oh, and the visibility is so much better in multiple ways. I never could park that '11 straight, but I don't have that issue at all with the Prime.

 

I came from a 2012 v and the driving area seems about the same. Of course the rear storage area is smaller but it is fine with me. For me, going 21 days between fill-ups as opposed to 7 days for my commute, trumps (pardon the expression) all. And I feel it is a better riding car.

 

Although it's obviously shallower than our gen-2's, the trunk space came out more spacious than I expected. I was concerned that a standard paper (or cloth in our case) grocery bag would be too tall to fit in it, but in over a month with it, I've only see on case of that I can recall, and all I had to do was move one item between bags.

I have see a case or two, however, where there seemed to be less back seat floor space.

Although this isn't a spaciousness concern exactly, one thing I really miss is the gen-2's oodles of little storage areas in the front!

Of course there are countless things I like better about the Prime over the gen-2, that waaaaaaay more than compensate for those concerns.

I've also noticed that out Prime's trunk is also somewhat longer than in our gen-2. That, as to say from the rear-seat back to the tailgate. Not a lot of difference, but some.
